ABOUT US
ACRATH stands for the Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans.
And that’s who we are - most simply representing more
than 8000 women and men who belong to religious orders and
who are passionate about eliminating trafficking and slavery
in Australia.
We also work in collaboration with other groups and individuals
– both government and non-government.
What we do:
| • |
Raise awareness, share information,
build networks nationally & globally |
| • |
Facilitate action at pastoral and
structural levels to combat & prevent human rights
violations relating to the trafficking of humans |
| • |
Provide education through a variety
of materials and resources |
| • |
Provide direct services -i.e. counselling;
rehabilitation & reintegration programmes |
Consistent with these actions, this site aims to bring you targeted content to inform, educate and
convince you of the horror surrounding the trade in human
lives.
We aim to encourage participation in stopping this phenomenon
by both giving you suggestions and tools, while allowing you
to also exchange ideas and motivate you to take up the challenge
to do more in this arena.
We feel that too often this issue has been swept under the
carpet or placed in the “too hard basket.”
We exist to change that attitude and prove that something
can and will be done to STOP the trafficking of people for
use and abuse into our nation & around our region.
Together we can activate a ground swell of enthusiasm and
participation which WILL be heard by all – the police,
the government, schools, victims and even the traffickers
themselves!
